Built by Minitec mechanic/fabricator/conversion specialist to be his personal Mini – a keeper!

AWD-ready! Capabililty for 600hp! Prior to body and recent paintwork, the rear subframe area and tunnel has already been modified to more-easily add AWD in the future. (Would simply use Minitec’s AWD rear subframe kit and a Honda differential, etc.)
